Can just go with a ls that all players pay towards the pop item, i.e. 18 players pay 20k gil each.
Also, my only concern about the gear here is if it outdates the VW gear, which would beg the question as to why the VW drop rates are so low if this event drops better gear and more of it. I got no problem with VW drop rates, as long as this new legion stuff doesnt outdate the good rare/ex peices from the higher VW tiers. I'm hoping new 99 earrings and rings can drop from here or be bought with points.
I agree this content is needed, and soon, but I hate the way things are being outdated so fast.
